We have changed the fuel pump and sensors ,fuel filter, clean the tank and change the diesel fuel rail pressure switch it also goes into limp mode every so often. this all started to happen after the van had been serviced and MOT.
Will be the starter...very common. They get full of carbon dust from the brushes wearing...this causes high resistance when hot and inturn high current draw, leaving very little juice for the engine electronics to run the engine. Either repair or replace the starter.
As a diagnostic, check the voltage across the battery during cranking, should be over 11.4v-ish. Poor batteries can give similar symptoms....they show good voltage until loaded, then pull down to under 10v.
